At school, we learned that the separation of three powers of government is “a technique to operate a country under law by separating legislative, executive and judicial branches, or, in other words, separating the establishment, enforcement and application of law, to mutually oversee each other.” The judicial branch is invested with two important functions. First, it is empowered to rule on the constitutionality of the laws enacted by the legislative branch. Second, with regard to the executive branch, it is empowered to try and rule on administrative cases brought before the courts. However, the public does not deeply trust and understand the functions of the judiciary. Efforts should be made to improve the public’s trust in the judicial branch as well as to engage the legislative branch.
